Oprah is NOT a New Ager: A Deep Dive.

What do you do with a mega-famous influential billionaire who says she's a Christian... but denies the core beliefs of Christianity? Instead, she believes in the divinity of humanity, the power of affirmations, the ability to speak and think things into existence, and that all religions lead to God and much more. Isn't she a New Ager, then?

No. In this video, my goal is to explain why. What is this stealthy spirituality of Oprah Winfrey, and what are people missing?

I've always wanted to ask Oprah "if you're a Christian why do you deny everything Jesus and his Apostles taught?"

When Osteen was spouting off the “I am”affirmations, all I could think of was “I am nothing without Jesus Christ!”

Oprah was a total gateway for me to new age/thought in the early 2000s. Spent 20+ years wandering in the desert of that nonsense. Finally realized she was "off" when she basically started telling women to leave their families to "find" their happiness. I had a husband and small children at the time and I was mortified. Such absolute BS! Then her best friend Gayle left her husband and I was finally hit over the head with the deception she was peddling. Such sick lies! Finally came home to Him at 58 (grew up as a Lutheran confirmed into the faith as a preteen). Finally realized His Truth. Saved in 2023 at 58, baptized on Resurrection Sunday 2024. Praise God! 🙏 He is ever patient and faithful. Biggest regret, because of my choices and influences like her, my children do not know Jesus. I pray for them every day and pray my witness plants seeds of wanting to know Him. All is possible WITH God. I'm so grateful I found Him again. Never have I known such love and peace. Thank you, this was so helpful and informative!

The “repackaging the oldest lie in the book, when the serpent told man he could be like God” was really impactful 🤯. It’s right in front of us.

I quit watching Oprah sometime in early 2000s or before. A friend used to say "did you see Oprah?" I answered "I don't attend the Church of Oprah." This was way before she started so much spiritual talk. I saw her for who she was.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes unto the Father but by me."

Oprah loves to hear herself talk. She feels like she is wise and profound. She asks her interviewees questions, then cuts them off to answer the questions herself.

[tessw]

OH PLEASE! Most people know the evil she's done...she doesn't delight in goodness, she delights herself in SELF!

[cynthiafuentes]

I worked with Oprah in the early days. She had all of us reading books on reincarnation and visiting her own personal psychic. This always has been a driving force for her.

MELISSA!!!
I am 61 years old and this is one of, if not THE, most powerful videos/ teachings I have ever heard.
Well done!

[femckay]

I was raised in the Unity school of Christianity and you are right on! I was saved in the Baptist church at the age of 12. Thanks be to God for rescuing me out of that false teaching! I am now 80 years old and looking forward to seeing my Lord and Savior when He calls me home. Praise His holy name!

First Mike Winger exposed Benny Hinn, now Melissa is exposing Oprah? We’re onto something here, gang 😎

[sarahmoffett]

Oprah was very upset when that lady called her out on her show. She did NOT like the truth coming out.

[nancybr]

By the way, when I finally opened and read my Bible again at 58, I literally said to myself...it's ALL there everything we need, God's incredible Word for us! And then I realized "they" steal from His Word, pick and choose, make it fit, distort it. Such deception. So grateful the scales were removed from my eyes and I now know Him. 🙏

[abellebass]

Melissa,

I have been a Christian my whole life. In my adulthood, I have been on a quest to unlearn and relearn my nominal Christianity. I have always struggled with and have been praying that I could one day grasp the gospel. In my car on my way to park with Dunkin in my hand, I listened to this clip, and the Holy Spirit spoke, and I now see.

Thank you for letting God use you. ❤

[MamaMayMays]

The amount of times she says “I’m a Christian” is a tell, she knows exactly what she is doing and who she is really worshiping and it’s not Jesus Christ

[mable]

At 1:03:01 you see the lady in the audience shaking her head and not buying her nonsense. Love it.
